Synopsis

Metallica Through the NeverA young Metallica roadie named Trip (Dane DeHaan) embarks on an apocalyptic journey through a decimated urban landscape as the band plays to a sold-out arena crowd in this high-concept concert film from director Nimrod Antal (Predators). As the band takes the stage before thousands of screaming fans, Trip is informed that a driver tasked with delivering a crucial item has gotten stranded on the other side of the city. It's his job to recover it, but getting there won't be easy because as the elaborate concert gets underway, rioters and police begin clashing in the streets. The city is burning, and a mysterious, masked figure on horseback is thriving on the chaos. When Trip incurs the wrath of the ruthless, hammer-wielding psycho and his marauding gang, he realizes that he may not live long enough to complete his mission. Meanwhile, the show must go on, and Metallica thrills the crowd with a thunderous collection of classics that include "Creeping Death", "Ride the Lightning", "Master of Puppets", "Battery" and "Enter Sandman. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Overall Customer Rating

Fantastic picture quality

January 28, 2014

First my four star rating is because for the price the 2D bluray could have been included and the bass could be a bit louder. Now, the awesome, and why it's worth the price. I saw this in IMAX and the disc gave the same eye popping and jaw dropping picture quality. I watch a lot of IMAX and this is by far one of the best IMAX and IMAX to disc movies I've seen. The movie itself gets you on the stage, you can imagine being that close. I was very skeptical about the story. I was impressed by it in that it kept my guessing and still does, I haven't watched the extras and kinda don't want the story explained. I think all Metallica fans will enjoy the movie if for nothing more than great concert footage and the end credits. If you don't know the band and are curious, it's a good way to experience the band for the first time.

A must own for Metallica fans

March 1, 2014

I'm a huge Metallica fan so I had high hopes for this movie. Saw it in Imax 3d and loved it. My ears were ringing like I had been at a concert. It's just as good at home on my 3d TV. The only disappointing thing with the movie is the story that goes along with the concert. It's not bad but by the end you feel like it could've been better.

Best Music Movie EVER!!!

This is absolutely the best movie by a band ever. The extra story line is decent, but the quality of the actual concert is what make this movie great. Metallica sounds absolutly great. If you even remotely like Metallica, you must see this movie!

Metallica Rules

March 22, 2014

Amazing performance by Metallica with a setlist filled with classic songs. The band is tight and on form. The vocals were probably dubbed in later which makes it a little better than some of the other recent live stuff. The plot gets in the way of the performance and is ridiculous. I refused to see it in the theater but would recommend the blu ray picture is perfect. It is high quality. I have listen to Metallica for 30 years and this is worth it if you are a fan and not a hater. I highly recommend this to anyone from some one just being introduced or a long time fan

Great music, weird movie

March 16, 2014

Not what I expected. The music of Metallica is always great, the rest of it was weird and a waste of time. It was expensive and the 3D version only works on 3D devices, no 2D copy. Look for it when it's on sale if you really want it.

A must for Metallica Fans

March 15, 2014

There's somewhat of a story going on but this disc is more about seeing Metallica in 3D and hearing them rock out in HD audio. The 3D is pretty awesome and you actually feel like you're in the crowd. The stage setup is pretty cool. Metallica knows how to bring it. The story that's occurring while the concert is happening is a bit cheesy but still entertaining and goes well with the music. You MUST have a 3D t.v and either a 3D blu ray player or PS3 to view this disc. I was able to watch it in 2D by pressing the 3D button on my t.v remote but it would've been nice if they simply included a separate 2D copy of the film. It's still worth getting if you're a fan and if you have a 3D t.v and 3D player.

great music by a legendary band

March 14, 2014

This was a fantastic concert film. It didn't rely solely on the concert footage to drive the picture, but instead interspliced film footage of a roadies quest to find a mysterious object for the band.
The concert footage itself was spectacular, especially the bulletstorm used to open up "one." The electric chair that hung high above the stage is lit up with lightning bolts fueling "ride the lightning."
As the concert progresses so does the story involving the young roadie. The music crushes as the chaos in the outside streets rages on. Its all led by an apocalyptic figure on a horse following the roadie.
Its interesting to see the stage creation come to life. Set dedecorations come to life as songs from various albums are performed. All the stages of Metallica's career are performed in grand fashion in a fantastic representation. Showing full heartedly that Metalicca can still perform and rock out relentlessly!
